Sayonara Jamatai no Hime-sama, Nobunaga the Fool episode 23 impression

I am being honest here; the new episode was better than what I thought before. As the next episode will be the last for Nobunaga the Fool, the producer did not hesitate to make Nobunaga and Co launch a frontal attack to Arthur’s Palace, Palais Natura. They need to bundle the fight in a more efficient manner by cramming plenty of battles inside the 22 minutes. For instance, In the middle of the episode, Nobunaga and Hideyoshi dropped several war armors using melee attack. The battle was fast but filled with acrobatic movements of the giant armors and several slash and dicing moments between the opposing factions.

The episode started with Nobu interrogating Davinci about his real intention, in which the later explained his research as well as the world that Arthur wants to create. After Da Vinci told Nobu about the probability that Arthur only crated the world for him and his perfecta, Nobunaga gathered his remaining followers to storm Arthur Palace and end the war. Then, Himiko proposed that she would use Azuchi to create ladder of heaven

to Arthur Palace. Hideyoshi, knowing that her body was already at her limit and another incantation would kill her, told the rest of the team about her condition. Himiko tried to hide the fact and she convinced the other that he was just joking. Yet he ended up hugging her; pleading her to stop pretending. In the end, Nobu decided to attack the palace using only the fool, Orleans and Goku.

Another interesting point that happened in the episode was the comeback of Uesagi Kenshin. I know he has grudge with Alexander after losing the previous battle and it was the perfect moment for him to enter the battle and end their rivalry in a battle to death. Different with the last encounter, his newfound enlightening and acceptance of the dragon’s power turned him equal if not more capable than Alexander.

Just like what I predicted last week, Himiko’s death was really happened in this episode. In order to save Nobu, she used her last remaining power to send the Azuchi as well as Nobu’s The Fool and Jeanne’s Orleans to Arthur’s Palace. Unable to restrain the ley lines anymore, Himiko frail body fell in Nobu’s arms and with the last of her strengths, he gave her blessing to Nobu and Jeanne.

A warm goodbye TOT

While I knew about the inevitable, I thought the producer gave a better farewell for Himiko. In contrast to Caesar and Ichihime death, Himiko was more endearing. If Caesar and Ichi deaths, while also inevitable, were forced to happen in one episode, Himiko’s death took more time to build the sentiment. Maybe, Hideyoshi and her assistants’ pure affection to her made the scene before parting looks more convincing with how they want her to live. Alas, Himiko wanted to participate in the last battle and she would not let Jeanne took all glory for herself.

Mitsuhide’s betrayal portrayed directly just as Nobu and Jeanne entered the palace. He told Nobu that he turned to Caesar and also admitted that he killed Nobukatsu. As the character with more development time, his betrayal may make more sense than Caesar’s sudden turn of allegiance. Still, I think there is more about Mitsu than what we perceive. I thought he was way too cunning to take advantage with. In short, if my hunch is not mistaken, he might end up using Arthur in order to bring the favor to Nobu.

I think we all have our own prediction about what will happen next week and the only way we know if by watching the last episode. I am more or less excited with the end result and I hope Gonzo could bundle the last episode with an unpredictable ending. If Nobunaga truly the destruction king, he might destroy the entire world and create a new world where the real Oda Nobunaga and real Jeanne the Arc born (ala KR Decade). Well for now I can only cross my finger cause it was all just my prediction but lets watch the next episode and see the result. In addition, I guaranteed you that I haven’t watch the last episode when typing this.
